"YM has maintained their fine tradition of military training, Rambo!"
Doll was extremely excited. "Huni has been hit consecutively by crowd-control, he can't even use Blink!"
Lin Yan quickly rushed to the middle lane after giving up the kill.
Although he had pushed the minions to Faker's tower, Li Xianghe's speed was quite fast without the help of the Cannon Soldier.
E, W, Q, Q, Faker squeezed out all his remaining mana and easily pushed the minions over. With Galio's return speed, he estimated that he would lose three melee and one ranged soldier.
These four soldiers added together provided less than 100 gold coins, which was roughly the same amount as Lin Yan's support.
Li Xianghe's brows furrowed as he went down the tower.
He began to wonder if he had brought the wrong Purify.
Originally, Faker had wanted to protect his damage output environment. After all, Galio's Blink and Lulu's Polymorph greatly limited Lucian's opponent.
Now, Lucian's mainstream equipment was Ruin – Black Cutter – Cannon – Endless. He was already strong in the early and mid stages, so he had high requirements for equipment updates. If he had spent 1,300 gold coins to buy a Mercury Belt in the middle of the game, he would have definitely slowed down the pace of his equipment and wasted his strong period.
However, if he had brought Teleport, he would have been able to protect Huni in the top lane. At the very least, YM wouldn't have dared to make a move against him.
However, what was done couldn't be undone. He couldn't go back in time to before the start of the game and learn how to play Warlord Vietnamese Crocodile.
"Control the minions and use Zhonya first." Li Xianghe proposed his own solution.
Zhonya's armor had a miraculous effect against Qing Gang Ying, and the 2.5 seconds of Golden Body immunity could also protect him.
Huni grunted in response.
"Little Peanut hasn't been idle either. He took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack in the bottom lane!"
The caster's camera switched to the bottom lane. Little Peanut, who had been connected to W [Fortitude Fortress] and E [Dazzling Light] by Wolf, went forward and immediately forced Jack and Liu Qingsong to use Blink.
Although the YM duo was resisting the pressure, because Little Pao was unable to control his lane, Jack was able to safely deal damage under the tower.
The mid lane was as difficult as ever. Although Lin Ran's efficiency in clearing troops had increased by quite a bit due to the Double Ring, he still wasn't very tanky. After being hit by a series of skills from Lucian, his health dropped by half.
Faker relied on his ability to purify and came up to harass them brazenly. His playstyle was extremely arrogant, and there were hints of his invincibility in S3.
Li Xianghe was clear about the team's situation. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the team operate according to the strategy.
This was the second time he had encountered such a situation since joining SKT.
The last time was three years ago in S4.
At that time, Piglet, PoohManDu, and Impact had left one after another, leaving only Dumb Chicken by his side.
But now, he didn't even have a stupid chicken.
Faker could only watch as SKT's invincible battleship sank bit by bit. He didn't know when he would grow old, but he knew that everyone wanted to step on his corpse and claim the throne.
Lin Yan had succeeded last year, but Faker wasn't willing to give up.
His obsession to be the champion had never been extinguished. Every time he failed, he would only continue to beat himself up, urging his body to burst forth with even more power.
He couldn't control his teammates. He only wanted to drag the team forward before he grew old. Even if he fell, he wanted to fall in the position closest to the trophy.
"Should I catch him?"
Phyllostachys Pubescens had just received an assist, and he had even taken down Little Peanut's upper half of the jungle to stop his losses. He had made up for his lost two levels of development. At this moment, he was beaming with joy as he observed the three lanes. When he saw the arrogant Lucian sliding around in the middle lane, his smile disappeared.
The entire process was similar to the classic scene of his idol, Ancestor Savin.
"Let's wait a little longer." Lin Yan wasn't in a hurry. Even though Faker had displayed a strong suppressive ability, he wasn't too afraid. "Princes might be there."
Lucian, who had been purified, was quite agile. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, it wouldn't be a problem for him to hold on until Little Peanut arrived.
At this point in time, Princes and Lucian's jungler combination was undeniably strong.
Lin Ran gulped down all of his potions and barely managed to maintain his HP at around half.
Accompanied by two rays of golden light, he and Li Xianghe rose to Level 6.
At this moment, Jin Gong went up to fight with Huni. His leg blade successfully cut open Rambo's mech, but since he didn't return to the city to replenish his equipment after taking the first hit, this exchange of HP wasn't profitable.
The Level 5 Rambo had a Level 3 Q, Pyromaniac Feast. He was in a strong state, and with a barbecue, Qing Gang Yin's HP was low.
"Fighting on the top lane isn't very rational. Brother Gongzi will be forced to return to the city …"
On the commentary platform, Doll's words were clear and logical.
But unfortunately, he was on the first level.
Jin Gong's exchange of HP was to lower Huni's HP, and at the same time create a suitable reason for him to return to the city.
The Siberian used this method to disappear from SKT's sight and hide their intentions.
Huni was on the second level in this exchange. He thought that Jin Gong had lowered his HP to continue to lure people to the tower.
He was indeed pretentious, but it wasn't to the point where he was sick. Even though Rambo still had half of his HP, he still returned to the city.
First, he replenished his Explorer's Armguard, at least to make himself look fatter. While Huni was teleporting online, he asked Little Peanut to protect him.
Now, Huni couldn't wait for the opponent to catch him. Rambo, who had just risen to Level 6, was wearing the Explorer's Armguard. As long as YM dared to cross the tower, he was confident that he could cooperate with Little Peanut to kill all of their opponents.
Little Peanut was on the third level. He glanced at the situation of the three lanes of minions and felt that the middle lane could be caught as well.
He decided to come to the first half of the map to kill the Demonic Swamp Frog and Third Wolf, who had respawned in the second round. This way, he could take care of both the middle and top solo lanes.
They were all in his hands and wouldn't die for a while. Little Peanut was farming steadily.
Wolf was on the fourth level. He knew that YM would most likely attack when they were at Level 6, so he decisively gave up on Bang and left the lane.
At that moment, the Artilleryman had just arrived at the bottom lane. He could roam freely in this wave of minions, as long as he returned to the bottom lane before the minions entered the tower to prevent Bang from crossing the tower.
However, SKT did not expect YM to be on the first level.
Their target was very clear. It was not Rambo on the top lane, nor was it Lucian in the middle lane. It was Princes in the jungle!
"Qing Gang Yin teleported to the top lane's triangle bush. This position wasn't discovered by the SKT players, and she went straight into the jungle …" Mille, who was watching from a bird's eye view, finally realized that something was wrong.
"Xiao Tian's Wine Barrel is also heading into SKT's jungle. He's moving very carefully, and it seems like he has already seen through Little Peanut's position!" Remember exclaimed.
Phyllostachys Pubescens knew that after Jin Gong's reckless and unreasonable blood-swapping in the top lane, Little Peanut would come to the first half of the map to farm or protect the top and middle solo lanes.
He tried his best to seize the time and threw a fake eye provided by the green jungler into the Demonic Swamp Frog's camp.
In an instant, the originally dark area became bright. Coincidentally, he saw Princes poking the pitiful Demonic Swamp Frog with the halberd in his hand!
When Little Peanut saw the fake eye suddenly appear behind him, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He instinctively turned to the other side of the wall and handed over the German army flag.
Giant Dragon Strike!
Demacia Princes raised his halberd and moved quickly toward the army flag!
However, no matter how fast Princes was, his EQ would be delayed. At that moment, Wine Barrel's belly was already crashing toward him!
Why was Wine Barrel often used to fight Princes in professional matches? Firstly, he also had the ability to do things at Level 2. Secondly, Wine Barrel could easily interrupt Princes' EQ!
Gulagas' fat body crashed into Princes, successfully intercepting Little Peanut!
"I'm coming for you."
Little Peanut heard Lady Gray's cold and emotionless voice through his earpiece. Qing Gang Yin used his grappling hook to climb up the wall of the jungle. The next moment, he successfully connected with Wine Barrel's control and stunned him!
At the same time, a green Runic Magic Circle with a wide range appeared beneath him. The scorching aura contained in the green flames made Little Peanut instinctively want to escape.
"Galio is also rushing to the battlefield. YM's top, middle, and jungle are quickly gathering to catch Little Peanut!"
Remember quickly glanced at the minimap. "But he doesn't have any teammates around him to help. Wolf has only just arrived at the Beak Bird bush!"
Li Xianghe had been wary of YM coming to catch him earlier, so he had deliberately controlled the minions under his tower.
Although this made his situation a lot safer, the drawbacks were equally obvious. After clearing the minions, Lin Yan ran over to provide support.
But when Faker saw the Galio Magic Circle under Little Peanut, he could roughly guess Lin Yan's position. He abruptly slid into the grass above him.
The R [Holy Gun Baptism] shot towards the river with countless light bullets. Galio's body was right in front of him, and each light bullet took away a small chunk of his HP!
But Lin Yan, who only had half of his HP left, was very tenacious. After 1.25 seconds of channeling, Galio soared into the air and smashed towards the Runic Magic Circle in the distance!
"Little Peanut has a strong desire to live. He's using Flash to stall for time …" Doll clenched his fists. "Jin Gong's reaction is very fast!"
In Summoner's Canyon, Qing Gang Yin was unable to be selected in the air, and he successfully caught up with Princes, who had flashed over the wall!
R [Hex's Ultimatum]!
Princes was firmly trapped in the barrier. More importantly, his 400-yard Flash didn't let him escape the range of Galio's R [Hero's Entrance] at all!
Amid the clamor of the audience in the stands, Galio, who had less than 30% of his HP left, successfully landed and sent Princes flying into the air with a burst of green flames!
"I'll eat the head, I'll eat it, I'll eat it!" Jin Gong's tone was very urgent.
Even as he shouted that he wanted to eat the head, his body didn't stop moving. He attacked Little Peanut with a normal attack, then followed up with a Q [Precision Etiquette].
This was called double insurance, two flowers blossoming.
"Do you think I won't give it to you if you want it?"
Lin Yan didn't plan to tank this head. After all, even if he had 300 RMB, he wouldn't be able to beat Lucian, so he might as well build an advantage for the Siberian.
Camille elegantly pulled up a combo, and the True Damage from her sharp leg blades easily took away Little Peanut's life.
At this time, a row of Rocket Launchers fell from the sky, and the scorching flames engulfed the three players of YM!
It was a long-range Rambo R [Constant Temperature Burn]!
Although Huni's strength was embarrassing, he was still very similar to the previous champion of SKT — he was proficient in Rambo.
In this year's LCK league, he had used Rambo to deal 80,000 damage, and almost roasted KT to death.
Although Huni didn't have the full vision of the three players of YM, he relied on his intuition and judgment to unleash an extremely perfect and precise ultimate!
"Rambo's ultimate is not bad, but the damage is a little too low, and it didn't succeed in killing Galio!"
The Explorer's Armguard only provided 20 MP and 30 Armor at the start. After that, it would only provide 0.5 MP and Armor for every unit killed.
In short, this was a Growth-type equipment, and it needed to be stacked slowly to get the best value for money.
However, Huni had just been teleported online not long ago, and the armguard's stack was zero. Relying on 20 MP alone was not enough to deal a devastating blow to YM.
Moreover, Lin Yan still had the passive magic shield provided by W [Durang's Shield]. Normally, he wouldn't need it against Lucian, but now, it could be used to offset the damage from Rambo's ultimate.
Lin Yan had been suppressed for five minutes, and he was feeling very aggrieved. Seeing that Huni dared to unleash an ultimate, he was instantly enraged.
"You're lucky that I didn't catch you, and you still dare to disgust me?"
"Come and catch the top lane!" He signaled that he was on his way, and then walked out of Rambo's ultimate, and rushed over aggressively.
Huni looked at the three players of YM rushing over and panicked.
Previously, he was full of confidence in dealing with YM's tower jump because of Little Peanut's help. Now that Little Peanut was dead, how was he going to survive?
"Huni has given up on staying under the tower. He's going forward. It looks like he wants to take a detour to find Lucian!"
This was the best idea he and his teammates could come up with in a short amount of time. Faker had been rushing up after using his ultimate. As long as he could stall for time, he would be able to get help from the mid laner!
However, just as he left the protection of the tower and was about to rush down into the river through the bushes, two people suddenly jumped down from the wall in the jungle!
Wine Barrel and Galio!
"Exploding Sphere!"
In the commentary booth, Mille raised his hands high. His face was red, and it looked like Olaf had used his ultimate. "The fruit in the jungle helped YM successfully catch up to Huni!"
The most important thing was that Lin Yan and Xiao Tian happened to block Huni's path to the river!
If he still wanted to meet up with Faker, he would have to pass by YM's mid laner!
Huni cursed the designer in his heart. Why did you design this fruit?
Do you have nothing better to do after eating your fill?
However, he could only brace himself and walk forward. If he went to find Faker, there was still a chance of survival. If he ran anywhere else, he would just be throwing his life away.
At that moment, Li Xianghe had also crossed the Dragon's pit line. However, his E [Grim Pursuit] was already on cooldown. With Lucian's short arms, he had to take another step forward to bring his opponent into his shooting range.
Without hesitation, Lin Yan activated W [Durang's Shield] and charged up Taunt.
Huni was in a dilemma. Since Galio was two steps in front of him, he had to run backward if he wanted to dodge the Taunt. If he flashed forward, he wouldn't be able to escape the range of Durang's Shield.
In his panic, he finally made a wise choice — he activated W and continued to walk towards the river.
This way, even though Rambo was stuck in place by Taunt, Li Xianghe was finally able to bring YM's mid laner into his shooting range!
"Sell me, sell me. Just kill Rambo!" Lin Yan knew that without any escape skills, it would be difficult for him to escape from Li Xianghe's hands.
At that moment, Jin Gong, who was chasing in a straight line, had also caught up. W [Tactical Sweep]'s outer circle hit and recovered a small portion of his HP that he had lost from resisting the tower.
Under the combined fire of the three, Rambo let out a scream. Huni was the first to die!
Li Xianghe chased forward to kill Lin Yan, but Xiao Tian's Q [Rolling Wine Barrel] slowed him down.
At that moment, Lin Yan used E [Righteous Bash] to escape from Lucian's 500-yard shooting range. Faker had no choice but to flash forward. He killed Galio with two shots and refreshed E [Grim Pursuit].
He slid to the side and wanted to continue attacking, but YM's jungler had already decided to retreat. Wolf's gem was about to arrive, so there was no need for them to continue fighting.
"One for a goose!" Remember shouted. "YM is still making a lot of money. They're still expanding their economic advantage!"
Doll nodded in agreement. "Don't think that it's just a difference of one kill. YM obtained this when SKT controlled the early game!"
After this wave of attacks, Lin Yan went back to the city to buy cloth armor shoes. For ADCs like Lucian and Little Pao, who relied heavily on normal attacks to deal damage, the 12% damage reduction provided by the Ninja's Foot Gear was simply godly.
Since Lin Yan and Jin Gong had already used their first big moves, their combat power would undoubtedly decrease significantly in the next three minutes. They could only steadily build up their kills.
Little Peanut did not stay idle. He went to the bottom lane and forcefully grabbed the duo from YM who had used Blink earlier. Together with Wolf's E, he successfully killed Jack.
However, Phyllostachys Pubescens immediately regained his ground in the top lane. He used Exploding Wine Barrel to attack Huni with Blink and forced him into the grass in front of the second tower, losing an entire wave of EXP.
Huni gritted his teeth in anger. In eight minutes, he had 0 kills, 2 deaths, and only 36 hits. This kind of development could only be described as miserable.
"Little Peanut took down a Wind Dragon, but it didn't increase SKT's combat power much …"
The speed provided by the Cloud Wyvern would be of some help to the team during the respawn period, but its overall benefits were undoubtedly the worst among the four Elemental Dragons.
Li Xianghe took a deep breath. Although the situation did not favor any side, for SKT's lineup, they were already at a disadvantage if they did not gain the upper hand in the early game.
This was especially true in the top lane. Even with the current version of the game, Huni could not suppress Camille, who had been hit multiple times by Rambo's fists. He even allowed Jin Gong to kill three of them.
If this dragged on for 30 minutes, no one in SKT could stop Qing Gang Yin from soloing in the flanks. Moreover, other than Princes, they had no other means of initiating a frontal assault.
If this dragged on, SKT's chances of winning would become smaller and smaller!
Faker was slightly flustered.
He wanted to suppress Lin Yan in the top lane and gain the upper hand as much as possible. However, Galio was no longer as fragile as he was at the start of the match. With his cloth boots, he could withstand Lucian's damage output!
Lin Yan stayed at the back, waiting for the minions to fall to critical health before he used War Squall to finish them off.
The son of the version, Galio's strength was evident at a glance.
Even against his natural enemy, Lucian, he was only having a hard time in the early game. As long as his equipment was slightly better, he would be able to survive in the top lane.
"Look at him." Lin Yan had nothing better to do, so he started joking with his teammates. "He's anxious, anxious!"
"Can you pull the minions back a little? I'll go to the middle lane and catch them for you later." Jin Gong once again clashed with Huni, relying on the true damage he dealt to Rambo.
Lin Yan glanced at the position of the minions. "I can only pull a little, not too much."
Otherwise, the minions would enter the tower.
"No problem, you just need to make him take another step forward!"
Jin Gong faked a return to the city. Once he determined that SKT had lost his vision by pushing the minions forward, he turned back and headed straight for the middle lane!
"It's coming, it's coming. YM's second big move!"
Doll was full of anticipation. "They're going to launch a surprise attack while Faker is giving up his Blink!"
At 8 minutes and 50 seconds, the fifteenth wave of minions had been fighting in the middle lane for 12 seconds.
The health of the Cannon Cart was getting lower and lower. Lin Yan knew that Li Xianghe was going to kill this Cannon Cart.
This was their best chance.
Lin Yan took a step forward to test the waters. When he saw Faker fire a shot at him, he also pulled back, not wanting to let Lin Yan get close to him.
He tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, pretending that he did not want to let Faker gain his health for free. He took another two steps back.
However, Faker controlled Lucian to fire a W [Passionate Bullet]. Two bullets landed on Lin Yan's body, triggering an acceleration effect.
His talent [War Zeal] had stacked up. Naturally, Faker did not want to give up on this great opportunity to deplete his health. He wanted to use the acceleration to fire two more shots.
However, he saw Lin Yan's Galio turn around and take a step toward him.
It was this step that made Li Xianghe's hair stand on end!
After fighting ten times a year, he knew that Lin Yan's every move was extremely purposeful.
When he turned around, it was either because Lin Yan had made a mistake, or … someone was coming to catch him!
The possibility of the former was extremely low. Faker immediately wanted to retreat.
However, it was too late.
From the shadows, Camille launched a surprise attack. Li Xianghe was not prepared for it!
"Qing Gang Yin's E [Hook Rope] has clung onto the wall. Double Wall Return, combined with Flash, successfully knocked out Lucian!"
Although Qing Gang Yin's EE Flash could not cover as much distance as E Flash, its speed was much faster. Faker did not have enough time to react!
"Lucian immediately used [Purify] to dispel the stun, then slid away from Galio's forward charge …"
Doll raised his voice. "However, Qing Gang Yin still has his ultimate in hand. Once again, he's trapped Lucian!"
Lin Yan's taunt, combined with his passive Heavy Blow and War Squall, easily killed Faker!
Little Peanut had already tried his best to protect the middle lane, but Faker's death was too fast. Qing Gang Yin, with three heads, did not even need to think to kill a squishy Lucian. Even if he sprinkled rice on the keyboard, he could kill him instantly.
"SKT's key rhythm point has been killed. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to them!" Mille's voice was sonorous and powerful, his excitement evident in his words.
At the same time, SKT's duo at the bottom lane launched their attack!
Gems linked to W [Fortitude Fortress] on Little Pao, followed by E [Spinning Light]. Bang could no longer hold back his anxiety, and his Rocket Leap leaped forward!
The dazzling light emitted from Little Pao stunned Liu Qingsong on the spot. Bang, covered in sparks, dealt a huge amount of damage!
Liu Qingsong was unable to avoid being focused on and killed despite his healing. However, Xiao Tian's Wine Barrel had also emerged from a dark corner. With E [Meat Egg, Onion Chicken], coupled with his flash, he instantly stunned SKT's duo!
The next moment, with Wine Barrel as the center, the Runic Magic Circle was formed once again!
"Galio's ultimate is supporting the bottom lane again. SKT's duo is in trouble!"
Bang wanted to use his refreshed Rocket Leap to escape from Galio's ultimate. However, a huge Wine Barrel rolled in mid-air, and white beer foam flew everywhere!
"Wine Barrel!
Wine Barrel's ultimate has blasted Little Pao back! "In a moment of desperation, his curved voice became heavier." Bang, where do you think you're going?! "
The audience below the stage could no longer control their emotions. Amidst the thunderous cheers and shouts outside the stage, Tristana was blasted back into Wine Barrel's arms!
The next moment, the hero appeared!
The Colossus of Justice, Galio, landed on the ground, causing thousands of waves of flames. Gems and Little Pao were all sent flying!
"Even though Wolf reacted quickly and activated his ultimate, it seems like Bang won't be able to hold on until Cosmic Glory falls!"
Even though Lin Yan and Mongoose's damage output was not enough, Jack had been stealing damage from the side. Galio and Wine Barrel had taken turns to control Verus, creating an excellent space for him to attack.
Just as Gems' ultimate was about to land after a 2.5 second delay, Verus used Piercing Arrow to take Tristana's head!
"Little Pao is dead. Gems won't be able to escape alone. YM will chase them to the end!"
Short-legged Wolf did not have any movement or escape skills. Xiao Tian used the [Rolling Wine Barrel] to slow him down. The three of them swarmed Gems and killed him on the spot!
Ten minutes into the match, SKT's kill score was 3: 6. Their economy was 1.5K!
The atmosphere on the Korean commentary platform was still tense. Roaring Emperor, who had just finished his team introduction mission, wiped the sweat off his forehead. "The situation is not looking good. Even though their economy is not far behind, SKT's performance is being suppressed …"
"They can't find any opportunities to take the initiative to drive the pace." CloudTemplar had always been frank about such matters. He was the runner-up of the S League and had experience that was not inferior to Madlife. He was considered the number one figure in the Korean eSports circle. "Especially the top half, YM has been clamped to death."
"It looks like Rambo and Lucian are heroes who can control the top lane in the early stages. We might have preconceived that SKT's top half would definitely have an advantage, but that's not the case …"
"What's the most important problem?"
He took advantage of the temporary silence in the Summoner's Canyon to share his thoughts with the audience. "They can't keep anyone in their top half."
"We can see that Little Peanut is unable to take the initiative to attack in the top half. All his movements are based on counter-crouching. He even managed to gank the bottom lane because SKT's top half has no crowd-control skills."
As a former professional player, CloudTemplar had a good understanding of the game. "SKT's two solo lanes have no crowd-control skills, while YM's top half has Qing Gang Yin and Galio. Both of them have a certain amount of escape skills. This makes it very difficult for Little Peanut. Princes's EQ is unstable and can be easily dodged by Qing Gang Yin and Galio's E skills. Furthermore, his teammates can't keep up with crowd-control skills after he uses them."
It had to be said that LCK's commentators were much more professional than LPL. To be honest, it was difficult to find a commentator who was worse than LPL in terms of professionalism. At this time, the Korean commentator hit the nail on the head and pointed out SKT's problem.
"Actually, I think Coach Kkoma had his reasons for choosing such a lineup before the match." CloudTemplar changed the topic. "They probably wanted to use Li's middle lane advantage to help Little Peanut invade the jungle. This way, SKT could plunder the resources of the enemy's top half to their heart's content. While chasing Wine Barrel out of the top half of the map, they could also use this method to protect the top and middle solo lanes."
"However, due to various reasons, SKT's plan did not succeed. Huni died too early, and the top lane matchup has already lost its balance …" Qing Gang Yin, who had already achieved the power of three, was showing off in SKT's top tower.
He swung his E Grappling Hook to the wall behind him, and at the same time, he kicked Rambo with his Q Precision Kick.
Huni wanted to retaliate, but the damage from the electronic harpoon was offset by Jin Gong's adaptive shield. At the same time, Qing Gang Yin was pulled to the wall by his Grappling Hook and out of the tower's range.
In the next moment, Jin Gong triggered his second E Return Wall and kicked again. Rambo, who did not have any movement skills, could not dodge the skill and was knocked unconscious!
Qing Gang Yin attacked with his sword, and the 1.5 seconds of Q Precision Kick had passed. The sharp leg blade with true damage took out 14% of Rambo's HP!
W Tactical Sweep hit, and Qing Gang Yin's HP increased by another mouthful.
EQEAQ was similar to Riven Tower's skill of swapping HP without taking any damage. It was Qing Gang Yin's basic skill, but Jin Gong's skill was smooth, and it was pleasing to the eye.
More importantly, Huni did not have any chance to retaliate, and was treated like an idiot!
[This Rambo looks like an idiot, hahaha!]
[I feel like I'm in the game now. It looks like when I'm a top laner and was messed up by a bottom laner.]
[This Rambo's arm guard and cloth armor shoes, pure J-beta hooligan!
Don't you have any dreams?]
Huni breathed a sigh of relief. If not for the armor provided by the cloth armor shoes and the arm guard, Qing Gang Yin might have wanted to kill him.
However, in the next moment, he heard the frantic reminders from his teammates in his headset.
"Galio has teleported, I can't keep up with him!"
Faker watched helplessly as Galio teleported away, and could only focus on his damage output.
However, Galio was now equipped with cloth armor shoes and a spiked vest, and his armor value had exceeded 100 points. Lucian, who was equipped with Birgivot's Curved Sword, dealt a series of damage to him and took out half of his HP.
Lin Yan successfully teleported to the top half of the jungle. He parted the bushes and appeared behind SKT's top tower.
Little Peanut, on the other hand, had a keen sense of smell. When he saw Jin Gong swapping HP, he sensed that something was wrong and rushed to the top lane.
However, his EQ was broken by Galio's E [Righteous Strike], and his ultimate [Heaven's Fall] was dodged by Lin Ran.
Before that, the combination of Jin Gong's Squall of War had killed Huni!
Rambo flew out of the broken mech, and the little Yodel let out a shrill scream in the air.
Another failed attempt at a reverse crouch!
When the Korean commentator saw this scene, he fell silent for two seconds.
"Ah … Looks like player Huni can't do anything," Roaring Emperor lamented. "He really has no room to maneuver."
"Yes," CloudTemplar said helplessly. "Like I said before, this is caused by a series of factors, and has little to do with player Huni's maneuvering."
Huni's face was red, and he was chewing gum subconsciously. It looked like he had been infected by Ouze's Guan Gong buff a week ago.
However, he obviously did not have Guan Gong's combat power. Rambo, the hero, was a bit like chewing on Dazzle. Once he died consecutively, he could not stop.
0 kills, 6 deaths, 3 assists, 122 hits.
This was the result he handed in at the 20-minute mark.
He was dizzy, and his maneuvering was stiff. He made one mistake after another while controlling his temperature.
The director did not keep an eye on him, so the audience naturally did not know. However, Jin Gong saw it clearly. The Siberian would not let go of such a great opportunity. He used his familiar EQEAQ and used Huni's mistake to complete a solo kill under the second tower. He did not even open the hourglass!
"Ah …" Rambo, whose health bar was emptied, was thrown out of the mech's cockpit again. He let out a familiar scream.
The audience was numb. Rambo died a total of seven times. His shrill scream was deeply engraved in their minds.
Doll smiled and said, "Rambo is very loud today."
The bullet screen was amused by his words.
[What the f * ck is loud?]
[High, his EQ is too high!]
[High EQ, Rambo is very loud in this round. Low EQ, Rambo is almost a ghost.]
[That's true. Also, is Huni a mole?]
[I don't think so. He didn't hold back when he was in Killing Stance. How could he be a mole?]
Even if the gap between the top laners was huge, SKT's economy was still lagging behind 5K.
They mainly relied on the bottom and middle laners, who were known as the 96th line by the fans. Faker's condition was not bad, and the wolf stick duo also performed well.
The three of them were putting out fires everywhere, and managed to stabilize the situation for the time being.
The main reason was that Jin Gong had taken too many kills. Now that the top laner was out of the picture, the other four players of YM didn't have as much of a lead as they had imagined. Moreover, Gem was a hero with extremely strong counter attacks. Lin Ran and Little Tian didn't dare to rashly start a team.
"Steady, let's continue to drag it out. We'll just wait for the Siberian to carry us alone." Lin Yan did not plan to take the risk. The longer they dragged it out, the better it was for them.
It was difficult for SKT to start a team fight with this lineup. Originally, their ideal situation was to let Little Peanut's EQ enter the field with a big move, while Rambo would attack from afar to keep the enemy back. They would then rely on the protection of the two archers and Gem to win the team fight.
However, this plan was not going to work. Little Peanut's Princes had not been able to gain anything from his counter attacks, and the jungle had been destroyed by YM.
SKT's two Cs could only keep up with their economy. How could they care about Little Peanut's development?
After twenty minutes, Little Peanut only had a jungling knife, a chainmail, and a pair of Mercury Shoes. The rest of his economy was used to buy Eyes of Truth to help the team.
This was also the norm for SKT's junglers. The team's current system did not allow junglers to consume too much resources in the mid to late game. This could easily lead to poor development and forced them to become herbivores.
This was one of the reasons why Little Peanut was not used to it. He was not the type to be a dog for his teammates. Only when the team revolved around him could Little Peanut unleash his full potential. Otherwise, he would be a tool the entire time. Calling him a second-rate jungler would be an exaggeration.
With Little Peanut's current equipment, if he dared to go in first, he would probably be melted in two seconds.
On the other hand, Huni's equipment was even worse. Zhongya's Hourglass, Cloth Armor Shoes, and a buff tome, but he did not have a single piece of equipment.
With this equipment, Rambo's big move did not matter. The damage it dealt was not even comparable to Liu Qingsong's Salvation.
Without a way to enter the field, SKT could only drag it out, hoping to catch YM's mistakes.
Unfortunately, YM's performance today was flawless. They did not give them any chances!
At the twenty-eighth minute, seeing Jin Gong slowly whittle away at the bottom lane's health, SKT finally made up their mind.
Open the Dragon pit, take a gamble!
If they did not try to find an opportunity, once the bottom lane was destroyed, it would be SKT's turn to be passive.
A few of them pushed the bottom lane's spawn line out, then ran toward the Dragon pit.
"Rambo has also been called over. SKT's five players, line up in the Dragon pit and start the fight!"
YM's team chat was also incessantly communicating.
"Do you want me to do it?"
Jin Gong pushed the spawn line toward the opposite bottom lane's high tower. With the Nine-headed Hydra's Verdant Steel Shadow, no one could stop her.
"Of course, of course," Lin Yan immediately replied. "We can't win without you!"
Jin Gong heard him and started looking for a teleportation eye. Lin Yan also activated the scanning effect of the Oracle Lens, looking for a suitable spot that would not be discovered by the opponents.
"SKT's Dragon fighting speed is very fast. With the two archers and the gem's Censer healing, they can easily take down the Dragon!"
At this time, Lin Yan found an area above the Dragon pit that was not covered by SKT's eye. He inserted the Eye of the Truth as a safety measure.
SKT had no other choice. They did not have time to set up a vision of the surrounding area, so they could only prioritize protecting the Dragon pit.
Even so, Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong's eye positions were constantly inserted, wanting to see the Dragon's HP as soon as possible.
When the Dragon's HP dropped to 7,777, Jin Gong prematurely handed over the teleportation eye. He realized that there were no good teleportation eye positions nearby. If the teleportation spot was too bad, he would be instantly killed by concentrated fire.
The first tower was relatively safer.
However, at the same time, the Siberian was further away from the battlefield.
With SKT's concentrated fire speed, he would not be able to reach the battlefield before the Dragon was killed!
"Look at my position, you guys kill Princes first!" Lin Yan saw that the Dragon's HP was decreasing and could not help but raise his voice.
In order to finish off the Dragon as quickly as possible, Little Peanut stood closest to Baron Nash, his halberd stabbing madly.
At the same time, Rambo was also near the Dragon, using his flamethrower to reduce its HP.
Lin Yan began to accumulate power. When the taunt range of Durang's shield reached its maximum, he suddenly flashed into the Dragon pit!
"Galio has successfully taunted both Princes and Rambo!"
However, SKT knew that their vision in the Dragon's area was poor, and they could also guess what Lin Yan wanted to do. They had already prepared a backup plan …
Bang's Little Pao was ready to raise his cannon barrel and use a big move to push Lin Yan away. Meanwhile, Wolf had activated his Glory of the Universe, wanting to cover all his teammates in the Dragon pit.
They were waiting for YM to come down and start the fight. Gem's and Little Pao's counterattack skills were vividly displayed!
However, just as Bang took two steps forward to push Lin Yan away, another nimble fatty jumped down from the top of the Dragon pit!
Meat Egg Onion Chicken!
Big Belly and Flash successfully stunned SKT's jungler. At the same time, Gulagaz threw the Wine Barrel from under his armpit!
Foaming beer spilled out of the Wine Barrel.
With a muffled sound, SKT's formation was completely blown apart!
"Wine Barrel's beautiful big move!"
On the stage, Mille was excited. "Not only did he blow away Little Pao, but he also blew Little Peanut and HUNI to the edge of the Dragon pit!"
Not only that, once the formation was broken, Wolf's Gem's big move could not cover as many players as before!
Jack Verus nocked his bow and shot wildly at SKT's jungler, who had been blown to the edge of the Dragon pit.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingsong used Sheep Transformation on HUNI through the wall!
Lin Yan fanned out War Squall, and at the same time, he took a step back toward the Dragon pit.
E Righteous Smash!
He did not cast the skill directly at Little Peanut, but deliberately cast it in the opposite direction.
The advantage of this was that Galio could send his opponent flying as soon as he retreated!
"The chain of control was perfect. HUNI did not use any skills, so he died on the spot!"
With a familiar scream, Rambo fell to the ground!
Little Peanut's Princes was not spared either. After being knocked into the air by Lin Yan, he also fell to Verus's arrow.
From the beginning to the end, he did not even have the chance to use Blink. He could only cast Punishment to take down the Dragon!
"SKT's jungler is dead, and the Gem's big move is coming!"
In the next moment, Qing Gang Yin's leg blade swept toward them with endless power!
Hex's ultimatum!
Faker was trapped in the barrier!
Without hesitation, Lin Yan spread his wings.
R Hero's Entrance!
"None of SKT's players can escape. YM's teamwork is too good!"
Little Pao was still attacking with his Gem's big move, but Lin Yan's armor and equipment were extraordinarily tanky. He could not move at all!
Amidst the hoarse commentator, green flames billowed, and SKT was annihilated!
Although YM did not have the Dragon's buff, their resurrection time was enough for them to end the match in one go!
29 minutes and 20 seconds later, SKT's base was reduced to rubble!
